Newest rumor going around the net regarding the Saudi mess was it being caused by a money issue and Vince did something to piss off the Prince.

Supposedly the Saudi government owes WWE money for their shows and since news of it was getting leaked, the Prince wanted to deal with Vince but since he wasn't around, the plane carrying the rest of WWE's talent got grounded as punishment.

Here's a summary of what Hugo Savinovich is reporting as the cause of the WWE flight delay in Saudi Arabia.

Alternate translation of the Hugo Savinovich report on the WWE Saudi situation that makes more sense than what others have said:

Apparently, he didn’t say WWE was owed $600m ($300m/show). He said he didn’t know the number/would use $300m/show for the sake of telling the story. https://t.co/kAhlWH0lTv

The broadcast in question wasn't the Crown Jewel show and instead that Facebook show hosted by Savinovich.

Edit: Observer and Voices of Wrestling reporting they heard similar reasons from their sources in regards to money issues being the source for Friday's traveling problems.
